    Copying a Classified Document to a laptop? Good lord. Dementia Don has had zero classified doc handling training. Zero. Or was he too stupid to understand the training? Or did he think his status as God Emperor made him exempt from human laws?

    The familiar irony at the bottom of Trump’s selective prosecution argument

    In a new motion filed Thursday, Trump’s lawyers argue that a Chinese immigrant’s case provides the precedent for throwing out the charges in Florida. It’s hard to think of a famous Supreme Court plaintiff with whom former President Donald Trump has less in common than Lee Yick.

    Yick sued, arguing that San Francisco’s pattern of denying permits to virtually every Chinese applicant while granting them to virtually every white applicant violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court’s 1886 decision in his case, Yick Wo v. Hopkins, still stands today. It says that the application of a race-neutral law, such as San Francisco’s laundry-permitting scheme, can be so obviously discriminatory that it demonstrates an intentional (and actionable) violation of the Constitution.

    A claim for selective prosecution is, in essence, a claim that the government chose to prosecute a defendant for the exact same conduct for which it chose not to prosecute a different individual. Only if the defendant could prove that the government had deliberately and intentionally singled him out from other similarly situated suspects without any good reason would such a claim succeed. In this regard,

    Trump’s uniqueness hurts him, for try as his brief might, it doesn’t identify any other cases with similar claims about affirmative misrepresentations concerning the suspect’s retention of classified information. Because there aren’t any. Trump isn’t the poster child for these reforms; he’s the anti-poster-child. Indeed, he’s in the position he’s in entirely because his behavior went so far beyond the limits of that of any of his predecessors.

    Trump would need to produce examples of government officials who, when specifically asked to return classified information wrongfully in their possession, not only lied about having that information but took steps to obstruct the government’s attempt to recover that information. That’s what the indictment in the Mar-a-Lago case alleges Trump did. That wasn’t true of Lee Yick, and that why Trump’s arguments that he’s just like Lee Yick are doomed to fail.

    Biden, Clinton, Obama, Pence… none were prosecuted for mishandling classified info… this is selective prosecution in the extreme.

    Liberals can’t win on policy so they shift the political battle to the courtroom. The opposite of democracy. Shame. I am however fascinated at how liberals twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain and justify their deceitful activity — again, comes back to them not having a moral core. The ends justifies the means, not matter how low they must go.

    Your memory of the differences of the situations is what is twisted. There is no comparison to The depths Trump took in blatantly lying, hiding, and hoarding boxes and boxes and boxes around for months after being told to turn them in. Your problem is that you trust and believe the words of a compulsive lying con man. Until you wake up and smell the coffee he has you right where he wants you. Blinded by facts.

    In other words, cannon has succeeded in making this trial go away. When people complain about corruption and two-tiers of justice, this judge's picture will be featured in that history book. Hope the shot at a supreme court seat and whatever money she gets under the bench was worth it...

    She can't get the taste of Trump's butt out of her mouth at this point. Imagine being so power hungry to kiss that butt, diaper and all over and over again.

    As a reminder, Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified information and was never charged by the DOJ. That's a pretty clear double standard that apparently, you are unable to see.

    She knows for a fact that Trump, assuming he gets elected, will for sure be giving her the Supreme Court seat of Clarence Thomas or Alito. It's so obvious that she's doing everything she can to not get kicked off the assignment from the 11th circuit on an appeal, but also doing everything in her power to blatantly tank the case for Trump.

    We are so fcked if Biden loses in November, AND if Biden wins narrowly and there is little power to make changes to save Democracy before 2028, and Trump or a Trump like Autocrat wins then.

    You keep repeating same bogus from Newsmax. Joe biden didn't defey a subpoena for the classified records nor did he lie on a affidavit stating he didn't poss classified documents.

    If trump simply gave back the documents (as Mike pence did when asked for them) and hadn't lied on a signed affidavit claiming he didn't have the documents he would never have been charged.

    You MAGATs can lie on the internet but this bs doesn't fly in a courtroom under cross examination

    a win is a win. If biden wins trump will be found guilty and he will be sentenced. Theres no way around it
